Who's buying an EVO IX?
The IX will have a different turbocharger setup than the previous models. 
If my japanese source is accurate, supposedly IX will be using magnesium(sp?) cartridge w/ titanium blade setup and slightly more aggressive camshaft profiles. We will probably see AYC as well.

I'm certainly contemplating it; can't wait for the NY auto show to find out all the juicy details; I hope it's the "real deal" this time.
However, I'm also considering the STi. Rumour has it that the '06 STi will now be arriving around September-time as a total redesign on a new platform (not just a cosmetic upgrade) ahead of the Evo X. These are certainly exciting times for the consumer....can't wait.
